Wal-Mart

This is the first segment of blogs that will have nothing to do with the title of this blog. I need to mix it up a little bit, and usually have something to rant about, so this is probably the perfect forum for it. Facebook has kind of taken the place of a lot of my sports thoughts anyways, and well, booze, is booze. I also have a travel blog, so we are really hurting for new material here! Anyways, I was at Wal-Mart this evening, and a lot of people will say Boo, Wal-Mart is evil. But they do employ a shit ton of people, and to be honest, I save on groceries by a landslide, it's open 24 hours, and I can get a lot of stuff done in one stop. Actually probably the key is the 24 hour part. Anyways, I am standing in line and the cashier is a lady that I KNOW gave me her cold when she bagged my groceries a few months back. Thanks for nothing. But I guess the guy in front of me was about 50 cents short on his grocery bill. First off, I don't know how people get into that situation, or why they don't put an item back. So this couple in front of them, and mind you these are all Greshamites, ask me if you don't know what that means, but the couple gives him the extra change this guy needs. So the cashier says something like, "See there are a few good people left in this world". But I notice that it is like pulling teeth to see someone do something nice for each other, without any ulterior motive. I have seen a lot of great acts of generosity, but I feel there are too many people that would take your last dollar rather than spare fifty cents. Con artists, identity theft, homeless people that are begging for change that are not really homeless. If all people would just spare fifty cents, and not ask for anything in return, I think this world would be a better place. Anyways, two more thoughts on Wal-Mart. I wonder who on earth would get their taxes done there. The answer? Rocky Brown. MUCH to his dismay, he learned that Rocky Jr. is not the huge tax write-off/cash cow they thought it would be! And they didn't even keep the receipt. I guess, Rocky and Wren, you are stuck with him! Lastly, I saw an invention that saves half of your banana for later use. Who the hell eats half a banana, or uses just half as an ingredient. You just EAT the rest! That's how you save it!! Please, never get me a half banana saver as a gift. I did learn that dipping bananas into hersheys syrup is delicious, kind of like a redneck fondue! So next time you are at Wal-Mart, at about Midnight (or later), cruising the empty aisles, thinking about getting your taxes done, and a lady that has a cold is bagging your groceries, I want you to think of me. I'll probably be there, an aisle over.
